Abstract
A laser probing method has been used in an ion storage ring to measure the lifetimes of the metastable and levels in . The lifetimes obtained were s for and s for . The most accurate results from ion trap measurements differ by 10% from each other. Our value for supports the longer lifetime value reported from Werth's group. For the level, the new measurement is consistent with previous results.Keywords
